Class Note 1999
Issue
Jan - Feb 2019
Hello, ’99s!
Here we are at the end of 2018 and, as I reflect on the great year our class had reconnecting at our 20th reunion, I am eagerly looking forward to what 2019 has in store for the class of ’99!
To finish out the 2018 news, a hearty congratulations to Tony Perry, who wrote a book that was published in October. Tony writes, “Chula the Fox is a historical fiction book about a Chickasaw (Native American) boy in the early 1700s who comes to terms with the loss of his father in an enemy attack. He vows to avenge his father’s death and prove himself as a warrior but discovers that revenge may not give the peace he expected it to.” The book is “targeted at pre-teen readers” and is published by the White Dog Press, a fiction imprint of the Chickasaw Press, which is the official publisher of the Chickasaw Nation.
In conjunction with Dartmouth’s 250th anniversary year-long celebration, the ’99s will be launching the Class of 1999: 250 Points of Light initiative in 2019. Class president Robert Tichio writes, “Our executive committee wants to lead our class to achieve 250 Points of Light by identifying and celebrating engagement of our class to the College.” These points of light will be achieved when you help us find lost classmates, attend a class event, give to the College, participate in an upcoming service date, and more. Robert will be hosting a mini-reunion at his home in New York City on February 2, the 200th anniversary of the date of the decision of the Dartmouth College case.
Also look for mini-reunions or a virtual get-together on April 9 to mark the 99th day of the year. And in late spring the class of ’99 will host a service day in a couple of major cities, where ’99s and other alumni can come together to give service to their communities.
In order to engage with as many of you as we can, we need updated contact information. Unfortunately, many of our classmates are missing, and we would love to reconnect. If you think some of your information might be outdated, please visit www.dartgo.org/update. If you know of any of our classmates who are not receiving mailings or emails from the class or the College, please encourage them to update their information as well. Also, visit our class page at www.dartmouth.org/classes/99 to find ways to connect with our class on social media. If you need help or have any questions, please reach out. Let’s make 2019 a great year to connect with other ’99s!
I am inspired by this month’s feature on Dartmouth’s 25 most influential alumni to ask all of you, who was the most influential person of your Dartmouth experience? Was it a roommate, a professor, a graduate teaching assistant, or even an EBAs delivery driver? Maybe there was someone that influenced your freshman year or your Sophomore Summer? Drop me a note and let me know, I’d love to hear from you. Until next time.
